  • Mickey7 (2022 Novel) | A Working Class Hero
    Mar 13 2025

    Edward Ashton’s expendable protagonist makes for a blue-collar hero for our times—someone who doesn’t think too hard, ask too many questions, and most importantly, whose life doesn’t matter… or does it? In episode 339, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they revisit some SF classics like the "Ship of Theseus," the "Teleporter Paradox," and a spicy new entry in a long running segment "would you do it?" Come back next week for their reaction to Mickey 17 by Bong Joon-Ho and their votes on which was better: the book or the movie!

  • The Iron Giant (1968 Novel vs 1999 Film) | A Gun with a Soul
    Mar 6 2025

    The backstory behind Ted Hughes’s original book THE IRON MAN is a tragic one, and the subsequent film by Brad Bird has a heartbreaking story all its own. In episode 338, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they discover an unexpected connection to Sylvia Plath, try to wrap their heads around a "Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon," defend animation’s reputation as a medium, explore questions of consciousness around artificial beings, and finally cast their votes on which one is ultimately best: the book or the movie?

  • 10 Things I Hate About You (1999 Film) | It Shouldn’t Work
    Feb 27 2025

    With his directorial debut, Gil Junger delivered an iconic romantic teen comedy with his adaptation of the controversial Shakespeare classic, “The Taming of the Shrew” that probably shouldn't have worked. In episode 337, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they react to the moment that audiences fell in love with Heath Ledger, explain the Julia Style poem’s connection to the Kendrick/Drake feud, appreciate the screenwriting skill on display, talk about the Clueless inspiration, and finally cast their votes on which is ultimately better: the book or the play?

  • The Taming of the Shrew (1592 Play) | Shakespeare’s Worst Comedy
    Feb 20 2025

    Shakespeare’s works are renowned around the world as some of the best ever written, so how should we feel about what just might be his worst play? In episode 336, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they try to find hidden meanings in the array of identity-swapping games being played by the characters, analyze a framing device that seems to go nowhere, unite in their hatred of the terrible Petruchio, and prepare for the modern retelling to come with “10 Things I Hate About You.”

  • Nosferatu (2024 Film) | A Romance With Death
    Feb 13 2025

    Robert Eggers brings questions of coercion and consent to the fore as he takes on legends of both literature and film with his stealth adaptation of Dracula via the influential German silent film from the 1920s, Nosferatu. In episode 335, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they try their Count Orlok impressions out, get surreal in Transylvania, and praise a stellar cast for their memorable performances, including from Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Bill Skarsgård, and Nicholas Hoult. They finish by casting their votes on whether the new film is better than the old, and how well it works as an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s iconic novel!

Then they finish out the episode by casting their votes for which one's better: the book or the movie? And join them next week for their Dracula finale with Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu!
